The wine list is a harmonious accompaniment to this moment of pure refinement. 54 rue de Bourgogne, Paris, 75007. www.restaurantauguste.fr

For the thirsty, the wine list was curated in collaboration with Anselme Selosse who put together a treasure trove of old, rare vintages that will surely surprise and delight any wine enthusiast.
